Anyone grown Jasmine before?

Wow! what a beautiful smell! i've just bought a Jasmine plant as you can probably guess and i just wondered if anyone had any tips on them? i.e how big do they grow? do they like sun or shade??

Anything really!!! :D

 

If this is the large flowered one I would think that it's not an outdoor variety, Does it have the variety on it?
Outdoor jasmines aren't flowering yet, but they do smell lovely when they get big enough for all their small flowers to add up.
Winter jasmine [jasminum nudiflorum] is yellow and winter flowering, but to my nose doesn't have much smell.

 

I presume it's an outdoor one, but wouldn't say that the flowers are that big. There white and pinkish. Unfortunatley it doesn't say what type it is, but it smells sooooooo nice!!

I'd take a picture but i'll prob cock it up like last time!! hee hee

 

I have a jasmin called:
Trachelospermum Jasminoides

I bought it after I went on holiday to Rome and it was growing nearly everywhere (we were staying in a residential area) the perfume was captivating and i kept having to smell it,this one has small white flowers.

There is no sign of life from it at the moment though hoping it will be okay and spring into life soon.

I used to have one with the small pinkish/white flowers bit we,ve had to cut it down to make room for another project, that one was climbing through a small tree and again the perfume was gorgeous. :D

 

I think it should be growing strongly by now, I have the white, the pinkish white one and a less hardy red one, and they are all sprouting vigorously but not yet flowering. I think something has happened to it... :(

 

Oh no :(

It was so lovely, and I did cover it during the winter.

Feel really dissapointed now.

Stingo

 

Sorry! Ididn't even cover mine, they die right back but they're only grown from cuttings from my previous garden. The red one overwintered in the greenhouse. I don't know if it smells yet but the other 2 are lovely as you say.
Morrisons here has got the white and the red at the moment ,nice strong plants and cheap.

 

Mine was growing lovely earlier this year, right up the fence to the top of my arch, the FROST got it and it died bak down the the groud, I have not dug it up as the same thing happened a previous year and it appeared again the next year, don't hold much hope for it appearing again this year though. :D

 

I had a very close look at mine today and could see no signs of life :(

But the wood looks a good colour!!so I might wait a bit and examine every day

Stingo

 

mine looked the same about a month ago Stingo but this last week its found a new lease of life. the foilage was brown with the frosts and i thought id lost it but this last week weve had 2 thunderstorms so far and im glad i never give up on it.have you given it some blood fish and bone?

 

No I havn't given it any fish and bone elaine, I'll put it my list of (things to get!).Mine also had brown leaves but they have all dropped off now.

I will be so dissapointed to lose it :(

But I'm not giving up, it cost me enough!!

Stingo

 

hello Stingo,it comes through a lovley lime green then turns darker.a few weeks ago the leaves were brown and brittle and i just removed them,then i could see tiny buds.

 

its even come through at the base which im pleased about cos it was very sp**** there.

 

granted its still only a baby but it was a present from a friend and i really hoped it would survive.it doesnt have a strong scent but the small, deliacate,white flowers are lovely in summer. :D

 

soory ,ive posted same picture twice.meant to show a close up of leaves changing colour. :confused:
